Team Obama thinks ticket with Hil could work with her as the No. 2


BY RICHARD SISK
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU

Team Obama agreed with Team Clinton Sunday that a "dream ticket" would be great - especially because they believe Hillary would make a terrific No. 2 as vice president.

Obama supporter Tom Daschle, the former Senate majority leader, said that Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) running as vice president with Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) at the top of the ticket would "turn the page" in their increasingly bitter battle for the Democratic presidential nomination

Daschle said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that Obama was looking for "the person who can serve in the capacity of President should he not be around. She's certainly in that category, but probably a lot of others as well." A tongue-in-cheek Obama camp was responding to jabs from Clinton's side that he wasn't qualified to be commander in chief and should settle for being her running mate

Clinton said last week, "I've had people say, 'I wish I could vote for both of you.' Well, that might be possible someday."

Team Obama thinks ticket with Hil could work with her as the No. 2

I doubt Obama would ever accept the VP position but Hillary may well consider the prospect. She is not getting any younger..

Neither could realisticly be the others' VP...Shortterm popularity, sure...But not actual application...

You simply CANNOT have a Vice President that's going to overshadow the President...Add in the fact that a former President will be around ll of the time, too...
